Mandrakelinux Security Update Advisory


Package name: cvs
Advisory ID: MDKSA-2004:058
Date: June 9th, 2004
Affected versions: 10.0, 9.1, 9.2, Corporate Server 2.1


Problem Description:

Another vulnerability was discovered related to “Entry” lines in
cvs, by the development team (CAN-2004-0414).

As well, Stefan Esser and Sebastian Krahmer performed an audit
on the cvs source code and discovered a number of other problems,
including:

A double-free condition in the server code is exploitable
(CAN-2004-0416).

By sending a large number of arguments to the CVS server, it is
possible to cause it to allocate a huge amount of memory which does
not fit into the address space, causing an error
(CAN-2004-0417).

It was found that the serve_notify() function would write data
out of bounds (CAN-2004-0418).

The provided packages update cvs to 1.11.16 and include patches
to correct all of these problems.

Mandrakelinux Security Update Advisory


Package name: squid
Advisory ID: MDKSA-2004:059
Date: June 9th, 2004
Affected versions: 10.0, 9.1, 9.2


Problem Description:

A vulnerability exists in squid’s NTLM authentication helper.
This buffer overflow can be exploited by a remote attacker by
sending an overly long password, thus overflowing the buffer and
granting the ability to execute arbitrary code. This can only be
exploited, however, if NTLM authentication is used. NTLM
authentication is built by default in Mandrakelinux packages, but
is not enabled in the default configuration.

The vulnerability exists in 2.5.*-STABLE and 3.*-PRE. The
provided packages are patched to fix this problem.
